I think it's terrible about the man who was pushed (by police) and 

then had a heart attack and died during the G20 protests in London.

Ian Tomlinson was walking home from work when he was pushed and suffered a heart attack several minutes after walking away.


There was a medical student who was trying to take care after him, but she was told to move along by the police.


Here are some links to the BBC news stories:

Case of some one being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or just the Police over reacting?

Maybe it  was fear on both sides which caused the police to react that way.  It must have been quited unsettling being there with so many people angry

i think it was a shame. the guy was just in the wrong place at the same time!.. however if you see a crowd of angry people as well as a lot of police would you not turn around and find another route?.. i also think that the guy was going to have a heart attack whether the police had done that or not.. by the police doing that probably just made it happen alot quicker!!
